  • Note:—HC indicates healthy control; iNPH, idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

  • a Please refer to the Results section for detailed explanation. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA: angulation is a within-subjects factor (Angulation), and disease status is a between-subjects factor (iNPH/HC). Angulation by disease status interaction term (Angulation iNPH/HC) is significant for THW and CA only, with larger effects observed in the iNPH group for both biomarkers. Data are sorted in descending angulation P value order (column 5: “Angulation”). Decreasing P values indicate increasing statistical differences between measurements obtained at different section planes.
